 Write pattern

Enter a hexadecimal value, for example, a value of this kind: 0x00, 0xAA, or 0xCD, etc. These

values are 1 byte long, but they may be up to 512 bytes long. Except for such values, you may

enter a random hexadecimal value of any length (up to 512 bytes).

If the binary value is represented by the 10001010 (0x8A) sequence, then the complementary binary

value will be represented by the 01110101 (0x75) sequence.

 Write a random number

Specify the length of the random value in bytes.
